Episode Two: Series / "Southern Reach" vs. "The Magicians"

In This Episode:
The guys get nostalgic for childhood series of yore before turning their focus to some great series of the present, specifically Jeff VanderMeer and Lev Grossman's recent trilogies.

Other highlights:
* Strong Band impressions.
* Blatant sponsorship asks.
* Jaques? Jacques? Jakes? J'accuse?
* That New York Times article about binge-reading
* Christopher Lee and Richard Harris' music careers
